Show HN: A Better Facebook Mobile App

I've been fed up with Facebook's mobile app for a long time. This is the main reason why I rarely use it, perhaps a few times a month, only when I really really have to check something. When it comes to posting, I always use Buffer so Facebook's mobile app is only to browse my feed when bored.

Facebook's mobile app is extremely slow and bloated. Granted, it does a lot of things for us (all groups/pages etc) and to use us (extensive tracking). I want something that tracks me less, gets rid of what I don't use and stays clean.

Today, Sunday Nov 3rd, I started creating my own Facebook mobile app, for fun. Current functionality: - sections: newsfeed, notifications and profile - tap on thumb-up icon to like - tap on on comment icon to see comments - tap links to open - tap images to load high-res

... the easiest way is for you to give it a try. You can get it via TestFlight by going here: http://tflig.ht/16z5hmu

Obviously I'd love to have everyone try it so you can tell me what is most important and what's breaking. Please remember, this isn't a rebuild of Facebook's mobile app like Sencha (kinda) did with FastBook; this is a lightweight version.

Again, please try it out and share the link with friends: http://tflig.ht/16z5hmu

I already have a list of things to fix and add but look forward to your feedback!

Many of you have asked for screenshots. Not sure why since UX is the focus, rather than UI but here you go: https://twitter.com/BigBalli/status/398112378006814720
